Abstract

Seed of Ocimum basilicum L. belong to family Lamiaceae commonly known (Takhmaria) which has been used as traditional medicine in all asian country. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was done using various solvent extract. Aim of this study to determine total phenolic and flavonoid content of methanolic extract of Ocimum basilicum seed. Defatted powdered materials of Ocimum basilicum seed were extracted with Methanol. The level of phenolic and flavonoid content were determined by Folincoicalteu method and Aluminum chloride colorimetric method with gallic acid and rutin as standard. Determination of phenolic content by 7.15 Â± 0.15 (mg GAE/ g extract), while flavonoid content determined by colorimetric method AlCl3 is 3.28 Â± 0.27 (mg RE /g extract).
